OK...as promised(although I missed Guam-sorry).
When it's midnight in your time zone, wherever you are in the world, please check in in this thread.
We lost a lot of good people and things in 2016...let's all post here to let each other know we have lived to fight on(hopefully with OTHER people this time).

That's why I chose Guam(and yes, I missed that).
(deleted the rest of the post, because I misunderstood the intent of the post I responded to).

(53,339 posts)My only visit there was not a precursor to good things. It was a few-hour layover in 1969...enroute to Vietnam.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Glad you made it back, though, and thanks for your service.
Would've been nice if the sons of all the hawks in Congress had been there with you.

(53,339 posts)I knew too many dozens who died far too young, was seriously wounded myself and nearly died. After that, I didn't expect to live to 30. What the PTSD experts call a sense of foreshortened life expectations.
But pinch me, I'm still here, survived another year, and I'm undaunted by the election result and energized to fight the battles ahead.
So Happy New Year to all of us and best of luck to us in the challenges that lie before us.

(50,254 posts)If you're there or in that time zone, you've made it through this year, too.

(37,291 posts)(most of them anyway) survived in occupied Europe during WWII. What the repubs will do will not be as obvious as Hitler. Getting by will take good and careful decision making. There will be little room for error. The forgiving environment that many of us are used to will be swept away.

(102,132 posts)Probably won't stay up for our own time zone (two hours away) as that long NEW Years' hike with friends and dogs has me wiped out.
Still, glad to leave 2016, even if I am apprehensive for the new year... stay strong, all.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Let us know what the year looks like so far!
